Hello Friend, I’m writing because I think you feel as I do, that the direction Washington state has been taking – one of higher taxes, crime, and decay – is troubling to say the least. If I’m right, you need to know about Washington Policy Center. For those seeking change in a free-market direction, a direction that also promotes government accountability and transparency, Washington Policy Center (WPC) is one of the most effective organizations in our state. If information is power, WPC is a power plant for citizens seeking the truth about state policy, solutions on what to do next and the information to take action. WPC analysis projected and exposed the 43 cent per gallon increase in the price of gas that arose from the state’s Cap and Trade Policy. While the governor denied any impact (despite their own reports predicting it), WPC research and analysis showed the indisputable truth. When a new “smart phone tax” was proposed, it was WPC analysis that showed the tax would apply to anything that connected to the internet! Refrigerators, TVs, phones, digital frames, ovens, etc., it was all going to be taxed until WPC analysis exposed its true scope. At WPC, we’re all about finding smart, real-world solutions to policy challenges. While others might push top-down mandates, we’re dedicated to crafting people-centered, free-market reforms that truly make a difference in our state.
